This paper is to investigate the characteristics of exhaust emissions and nano-particle emission from diesel passenger vehicle according to using biodiesel fuel as an alternative fuel. In this work, the particulate matters (PM) of exhaust emissions in diesel engine were investigated by number of particles and mass measurement. The mass of the total PM was measured using the standard gravimetric measurement method, the total number concentrations were measured on a ECE15+EUDC driving cycle using Condensation Particle Counter (CPC). Total PM emission was reduced $2{\sim}38%$ and number concentration was reduced $1{\sim}27%$ according to increasing blended ratio of biodiesel with diesel fuel. Total PM emission was reduced more than particle number emission because volatile particles were measured in total PM but were not measured in particle number emissions.

칼코파라이트 구조의CuInSe2 (CIS) 계 화합물은 직접천이형 반도체로서 높은 광흡수 계수($1{\times}10^5\;cm^{-1}$)와 밴드갭 조절의 용이성 및 열적 안정성 등으로 인해 고효율 박막 태양전지용 광흡수층 재료로 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. CIS 계 물질에 속하는 $Cu(InGa)Se_2$ (CIGS) 태양전지의 경우 박막 태양전지 중 세계 최고 효율인 20%를 달성한 바 있다. 그러나 이러한 우수한 성능에도 불구하고 CIS 계 박막 증착시 동시증발장치나 진공 스퍼터링 장치와 같은 고가 진공장비를 사용해야 한다는 점이 CIS 박막 태양전지 상용화의 걸림돌이 되고 있는데, 이는 장비 특성 상공정단가가 높고 대면적화가 어렵기 때문이다. 따라서 기술개발 이후의 상용화 단계를 고려할 때 CIS 박막 제조 공정단가를 획기적으로 낮추면서도 대면적화가 용이한 신공정 개발이 필수적이다. 이러한 관점에서 용액 및 나노 입자 전구체를 비진공 방식으로 코팅하여 CIS 광흡수층을 제조하는 기술이 CIS 태양전지의 저가화 및 대면적화를 가능케 하는 차세대 기술로 인식되고 있다. 본 세미나에서는 다양한 형태의 용액 또는 입자 전구체를 이용한 CIS 광흡수층 제조 기술개발 현황 및 각 기술별 특징을 소개하고자 한다.

표면의 물성은 표면효과를 고려한 나노 스케일의 구조물의 기계적 거동 해석에 있어서 필수적인 요소이다. 이러한 해석을 위한 방법론 중 surface relaxation model을 이용하여 박막의 표면 물성을 계산하는 방법은 이미 FCC 모델에서는 검증된 바 있으나, 동일한 방법론을 diamond 구조를 가지는 실리콘에 일괄적으로 적용할 수는 없다. 이는 FCC 구조를 갖는 금속과는 달리 실리콘이 공유결합 물질이라는 점과, 박막표면에서 다양한 surface reconstruction이 가능하다는 점, 그리고 실리콘의 diamond lattice가 FCC lattice에 비해 추가적인 자유도가 존재한다는 점으로부터 기인한다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 조건을 고려하여 Si 박막의 표면 물성을 해석하기 위한 surface relaxation 모델을 제시한다.

This paper presents the development of a disposable label-free biosensor for bio molecular interaction analysis. Label-free biosensors have advantages of high performance in sensitivity and short detection time. Among various label-free systems, we introduced biosensor with nano grating structures based on white light source and spectrometer. And to develop high efficiency label-free biosensor, we suggest replicating processes satisfying required specification. We also report a system set-up to evaluate the characteristics of phenomenon shown in this biosensor system.

전기습윤이란 고체 표면에 형성된 액적에 전기장을 인가하게 되면 액적과 표면의 계면에너지 감소로 인해 접촉각이 변화되는 현상을 말한다. 이 현상은 전자종이 구현에 응용이 모색되고 있으며, 다초점 렌즈, 마이크로 프리즘, 반사형 디스플레이 등에도 응용될 수 있다. 전기습윤현상의 응용 가능성이 현실화됨에 따라 최근 여러 표면에서의 전기습윤 현상이 연구되고 있다. 예를 들면, 나노 구조로 형성된 실리콘 기판에서 molten salt (1-ethyl-3-methyl-1-H-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate)에 22 V를 인가하면 약 $180^{\circ}$에서 $110^{\circ}$로 접촉각변화를, cyclopentanol에 50 V를 인가하면 표면에 완전히 퍼지는 현상이 보고된 바 있고, 배열된 Carbon Nanotube 박막에서는 탈이온수와 0.03 M NaCl 용액에 대해서 0~50 V를 가해줌에 따라 각각 $155^{\circ}$에서 $90^{\circ}$, $130^{\circ}$에서 $50^{\circ}$로의 접촉갑 변화가 있음이 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서는 화학적으로 안정하고 그 활용도가 매우 광범위한 실리카 코팅층을 전기분무증착법(electrospray deposition)을 이용해 형성하고, 코팅층의 표면 거칠기와 구조, 전기절연층의 두께 등에 따른 전기습윤 현상 거동을 조사하였다.

Nanobiotechnology, the interdisciplinary area at the crossroad of biotechnology and nanoscience, combines contributions from molecular and cell biology, chemisty, material science, and physics in an attempt to understand the behavior of nanobiomaterials, their development and applications. At present, nanobiotechnology is believed to hold great promise for improving health and prolonging life, faciliating biomarker discovery, molecular diagnostics, discovery of novel drugs and drug delivery, which are important basic components of biomedical science. In the recent trend of nanobiotechnology, this review is intended to provide a better understanding of nanobiotechnology in its applications and perspectives, separating this integration technology into three parts such as nanobiochip/sensor, nanobiomaterials, and nanobioanalysis in order to hopefully gain insights into why size matters, how nano-materials and -devices can be engineered.

The self-assembly of peptide-based building blocks into nanostructures is an attractive route for fabricating novel materials because of their capacity for molecular recognition and functional flexibility as well as the mild conditions required in the fabrication process. Among various peptide-based building blocks forming nanostructures, the simplest building blocks are aromatic dipeptides like diphenylalanine, which can readily self-assemble into nanotubes in aqueous solutions at ambient conditions. Recently, we have developed a high-temperature solid-phase self-assembly process for diphenylalanine. Through this novel process, we succeeded in the growth of vertically well-aligned, uniform nanowires from amorphous peptide thin film. To demonstrate the versatility of our approach, we also fabricated a micropattern of peptide nanowires by combining our solid-phase growth method and simple soft lithographic techniques. We believe that our studies on peptide self-assembly will provide a new horizon for peptide-based nanofabrication.

Most reports demonstrated the substrate specificity-based kinetic properties of chitin or chitosan degrading enzymes. However, there is virtually less information on the high quality and quantity production of chitin or chitosan hydrolysates having a larger than (GlcN)₇ from the hydrolysis of high molecular weight chitosan using specific enzymes and their biological activity. Therefore, the production of such molecules and the discovery of such enzyme sources are very important. Fortunately, the author has established a mass production method of chitosan hydrolysates (GlcN)_n, n=2-13 that have been characterized as a potent antioxidant substance, as well as antifungal and antibacterial activities against Penicillium species and highly selective pathogenic bacteria. In addition, preclinical studies using (GlcN)_n, n=5-25 demonstrated that these molecules played a very important role in maintaining biometric balance. Collectively, it is implicated that the application of these mixed substances to foods with significant biological activity is very encouraging.

Nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) has been intensively studied for the treatment of a plethora of pollutants through reductive reaction, however, the nano size should be of concern when nZVI is considered for water treatment, due to difficulties in recovery. The loss of nZVI causes not only economical loss, but also potential risk to human health and environment. Thus, the immobilization onto coarse or structured support is essential. In this study, two representative processes for nZVI immobilization on granular activated carbon (GAC) were evaluated, and optimized conditions for synthesizing Fe/GAC composite were suggested. Both total iron content and $Fe_0$ content can be significantly affected by preparation processes, therefore, it was important to avoid oxidation during preparation to achieve higher reduction capacity. Synthesis conditions such as reduction time and existence of intermediate drying step were investigated to improve $Fe_0$ content of Fe/GAC composites. The optimal condition was two hours of $NaBH_4$ reduction without intermediate drying process. The prepared Fe/GAC composite showed synergistic effect of the adsorption capability of the GAC and the degradation capability of the nZVI, which make this composite a very effective material for environmental remediation.

Organic/inorganic hybrid materials have a lot of interest in various areas due to their fascinating properties. To control the location and dispersion of inorganic nanoparticles within polymer matrix. thiol-terminated polymeric ligands have been widely used to tune the surface property of nanoparticles. However, the specific binding between the thiol functional group and metal is unstable with increasing temperature. To archive the thermally-stable Au nanoparticles, we previously synthesized various UV-crosslinkable polymeric ligands, which have different compositions of polar, UV-crosslinkable azide unit comparing to non-polar 스티렌 units. After crosslinking the Au nanoparticles, it was found that the nanoparticles had superb stability at high temperature (above $180^{\circ}C$). In this work, we used thermally-stable Au nanoparticles to control the location within the polymer matrix. By changing the amount of polar azide units in the polymeric ligands, we could precisely control the location of nanoparticles from one domain to the interface of block copolymer templates.
